Government and the Economy



“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”

- Ronald Reagan

Another great quote from one of my top-five presidents.


If I was a conservative running for president of the United States (which would never happen: I can literally list a thousand things I’d rather do instead, including undergoing a root canal), I would mine Reagan’s speeches and steal – ahem, borrow – liberally. (How’s that for an ironic adverb?)
